Thursday. Scott & I went over to Ron's house after lunch for the purpose of harassing him and just having some fun. We sat down and bantered for awhile and the conversation turned to vocation and specifically Scott in the ministry. Scott was vulnerable--really vulnerable for the first time that I have seen. As he started sharing about the youth group in New Haven that he and Kristin had to leave, he wept. Ron said, "I have never felt closer to you Scott than right now." Neither had I. In fact, I had wondered if Scott and I would ever have more than a joking relationship. I had seen glimpses of his soul in the past, but this was the first time he displayed it. Naked. I was moved and touched. Scott is like most of us, often hiding behind a mask, afraid to share himself fully with others.
So we went over to harass Ron and instead we were met there, while eating vegetables and fruit, by the power of the Spirit. It was a holy moment.
